    If you are familiar with K-On in any way, I am confident you will find at least some enjoyment in Irodorimidori (if you haven't drawn parallels between the two already). Irodorimidori accomplishes satisfyingly enough within its 8 episodes of 3 minutes: It has simple backstories so the events don't really seem spontaneous; it has occasional flares of individualism that show off the obviously pre-natal personalities of our music aficionadas. For its time frame, Idorimidori is able to deliver something seemingly competent to the audience. However, this in itself, in my opinion, is what prevents it from being any greater. It branches out some, yet manyof these branches are forcibly torn off by its short duration and the ability to elaborate on them. nnThere is no action after their performance asides from a brief backstage exchange. There was no transition in between Episode 7 and 8; they went from being backstage straight into the performance upon the first seconds of Episode 8. The main purpose of their performance itself was lost, as their school never stated who won nor did the show even display what happened after they got the reward. nnIt might be asking almost too much from a show shorter than most single episodes of anime, but filling in gaps such as the aforementioned would make it a better show overall. nnAsides from that, the actually music itself wasn't all too bad, I liked it. It was a moderately enjoyable, shorter watch.

    This was one of the worst shows I have ever had the displeasure of watching, there is absolutely nothing redeemable about this sorry excuse of a show. I'd rather rewatch vampire holmes than think about this shit. There wasn't a single brain cell that went into making a creative or new show when this was being made. The entire show is stolen from the hundreds of other generic and bland moe shows out there and it really shows. Every character is a cliche, the artstyle and character designs are the same uninspired shit we've all seen 50 times over and even the writing alone shouldhave somebody filing a lawsuit for blatant plagiarism.nnThis show is remarkably unremarkable in every single way, it doesn't excel at a single thing (not that it tried to do anything in the first place). It's hard to even think of anything to talk about in relation to this show because there is honestly nothing to talk about. If you've seen enough slice of life/comedy anime you can probably guess the entire personality and jokes centered around each character from the poster alone, a quick read of the synopsis and you can probably figure out all the jokes and story bits too. It's insulting how uninspired this dreck is. This show is the perfect example of why so many anime are bad, they don't try, they just copy paste the same things that every other one before it has done so you can literally say you watched everything a show has to offer before watching a single frame of the damn thing.nnThe ONLY notable things I can say about this rubbish is that irodorimidori is fun to say and that the end cards were nice looking, which is two more compliments than I can give the Pupa anime so I guess it has that going for it. Do not watch this show, even as a joke it's not worth it, it's just boring.
